BOOTS AND PILLOWS
StM Y*
~ Mill —l—li III III ■
Dancing pillow's, something new in Christmas gifts, are the in
genius invention ot dainty Harriet Hoctor, America's premier dan
se use. Harriet, who believes in making as many gifts as possible, is
spending her leisure hours in the interesting home-work ol revamping
the 70<i pairs of high kid boots she has worn this past year into pres
ents. She cuts off the tops of these kid boots and makes gorgeous
sota pillows out of them b> having the kid dyed rich lemon yellows
delicate lime green, grape and raspberry shades. The bottoms, the
slipper parts whicn are in good condition. Miss Hoctor sends to the
Dancers' Club, tor those aspiring ballerinas who cannot afford new
slippers each week. Thus, she not only makes pretty gifts for her per
sonal friends but generously offers other girls a real chance to be in
Harriet Hoctors shoes!

Beware of Colds
NOW!
With Flu in the Ail
Colds Are Doubly Dangerous
Colds—always treacherous—are doubly danger
our now, with flu reported in many sections.
They lower body strength and pave the way for
tin and all its serious complications. Heed even
the slightest sniffle as a danger signal. It's no
time to take chances.
The safest course to follow is that outlined in
Vicks Plan for better Control-of-Colds. In
I clinical tests last winter, Vicks Plan reduced the
number and spread of colds by half!—cut their
dangers and costs more than half! Full details
of the plan are in each Vicks package. Briefly,
it is this!
TO PREVENT MANY COLDS: At that first
feeling of stuffiness or nasal irritation, •!
sniffle or sneeze—Nature’s usual warn
ing that a cold is coming on—use Vicks
None & Throat Drops, the new aid in
preventing colds. Vicks Drops aid Na
ture in throwing off the infection that
threatens. They prevent development
of many colds.
TO END A COLD SOONER: If a cold has
developed or strikes without warning,
vigorous measures are necessary. At
bedtime, apply Vicks VapoRub. Its di- j \
rect double action—continuing through
the night—brings quicker relief. Dur
ing the day, use the convenient Vicks
Nose Drops every few hours as need
ed. They add to comfort—help shorten
the cold.
